Learn about constants, variables, and basic data types in Go, including int, int8/16/32/64, unsigned ints, float32/64, string and boolean, default values, type inference, and constants.
Learn Go functions, parameters, and returns, including multiple values and error handling, then compare if/else, switch, and conditional switch for robust control flow.
Explore how strings relate to runes and bytes in Go, examine UTF-8 encoding, and learn to index, iterate, and build strings efficiently.
Learn to use go routines to run tasks concurrently and achieve parallel execution on multi-core CPUs, while using wait groups and mutexes or a read-write mutex to safely share data.
Learn how go generics enable a single sum slices function for int, float32, and float64 via type parameters and inference, with json unmarshalling and generic structs.
This is a comprehensive course for learning Golang for experienced developers. We cover everything you need in detail, while assuming you don't need a 15 minute video on print statements. This course is meant to get you started in Go as quick as possible and in a fun and entertaining way. This course does not skimp on content, it just presents it in a concise way in order to not waste your time and get you up and running with Go in no time!
